Water Heater Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current setup and discuss your hot water needs. Different homes need different solutions—a family of five has different requirements than a couple whose kids moved out. We’ll recommend the right size and type of water heater for your situation.

Next, we handle the removal of your old unit and prepare the installation area. This includes checking gas lines, electrical connections, and water connections to make sure everything meets current codes. If permits are required, we take care of that too.

Then we install your new water heater, test all connections, and make sure everything’s working properly before we leave. You’ll know exactly how to operate your new system, and you’ll have our contact information if you need anything down the road.

Tank and Tankless Installation

We Handle Both Types

Whether you’re sticking with a traditional tank water heater or upgrading to a tankless system, we install both. Tank water heaters are reliable, cost-effective, and work well for most Walnut Grove homes. Tankless units save space and can reduce energy costs, but they’re not right for every situation.

We’ll help you figure out which option makes sense for your home and budget. Some families do better with the consistent supply of a larger tank unit. Others benefit from the space savings and efficiency of tankless hot water heater installation.

Either way, you’re getting proper installation that follows manufacturer specifications and local codes. That means your warranty stays intact and your water heater performs the way it’s supposed to for years to come.

How long does water heater installation take?

Most water heater installations take 2-4 hours, depending on the type of unit and whether any modifications are needed to your existing setup. A straightforward tank-to-tank replacement usually takes less time than switching from tank to tankless or upgrading electrical or gas connections. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation, and we work efficiently to get your hot water back as quickly as possible.
It depends on your household’s hot water usage, available space, and budget. Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work well for families with high simultaneous hot water demand. Tankless units save space, last longer, and can reduce energy costs, but they have higher upfront costs and may require electrical or gas line upgrades. We’ll assess your specific needs and help you make the right choice for your Walnut Grove home.
Water heater sizing depends on your household size, hot water usage patterns, and the number of bathrooms and appliances that use hot water. A typical family of four usually needs a 40-50 gallon tank or a tankless unit rated for their peak demand. We calculate the right size based on your actual usage, not just square footage or number of people. Getting the sizing right means you’ll have enough hot water when you need it without paying for more capacity than necessary.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for water heater installation in Walnut Grove. Permit requirements vary depending on the type of installation and local codes, but we know what’s required and take care of the paperwork. This ensures your installation meets all safety codes and maintains your home’s compliance. Proper permitting also protects you if you ever sell your home, since buyers and inspectors will see that the work was done correctly.
We remove and properly dispose of your old water heater as part of our installation service. Water heaters contain materials that need to be recycled properly, and we handle that process for you. We’ll disconnect the old unit safely, remove it from your property, and clean up the installation area. You don’t have to worry about hauling it away or finding a disposal facility that accepts water heaters.
Water heater installation costs vary based on the type of unit, complexity of installation, and any necessary upgrades to existing connections. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. Factors that affect cost include the water heater type, whether gas or electrical modifications are needed, permit fees, and disposal of your old unit. We’ll explain all costs clearly and won’t surprise you with hidden fees.
